BBVD comes out swinging with a tribute to the music of Cab Calloway. The horns burn up the joint and the whole release is high-energy musical Crack that keeps you feeling good. Great piano & stylish arrangements, plus vocals (not as good as Cab, of course, but a valiant attempt). Every track a gem. As Byrd would say “this is the shit!” 1. Jumpin, thumpin, bumpin. Hot horns, wicked perc & vox. Yow!! 2. Happy upbeat boogie just made for jitterbugging. 3. Upbeat jive jam w/infectious energy & a gotta dance vibe. 4. Lush big band midtempo bounce w/fun work from all. 5. Classic fun midtempo swing w/some good solos. 6. Big horns lead the sway in this midtempo play. Nicely hip. 7. Solid brass w/a happily lowdown vibe then some playful mystery. 8. Relaxed and gritty Smokey Joe w/reference to Minnie. Down & dirty. 9. Upbeat and swinging w/sweet muted trumpet and a crazy energy. 10. Minnie steams up the night, dirty horns. Varying tempos, great big band. 11. Instant energy, crazy upbeat swing. So fun, let’s dance. | ||
